"Right now, my favorite game is Resident Evil 2"
About this Quote
Choosing Resident Evil 2 specifically carries cultural shorthand. It’s not a trendy mobile obsession or a prestige indie; it’s survival horror with a big legacy, a franchise title that still suggests taste and a certain comfort with intensity. For an actor, that’s a useful kind of relatability: he’s not presenting himself as a hardcore gamer with insider credentials, but he’s also not picking something so safe it feels focus-tested. Horror games are about pacing, threat, and performance under pressure; there’s an accidental resonance with acting itself, where suspense is engineered beat by beat.
The subtext is brand management in its most painless form. Celebrity interviews often demand “personality tells” that don’t threaten the main product. A game preference is low-stakes, contemporary, and audience-bridging: it nods to younger fans and to anyone who grew up with the PlayStation-era canon. West’s intent is intimacy at arm’s length: a small, specific detail that makes him feel accessible without revealing anything he’d actually have to defend tomorrow.
